If ever a Western could be said to have something for everybody, it's The Scalphunters. This is a rousing adventure yarn, spiced throughout with irresistible humour and satirical commentary on race relations.
In a performance full of fire and vinegar, Burt Lancaster plays Joe Bass, a crusty, frontier-wise fur trapper. Joe's hard-earned cargo of pelts is seized by a band of "friendly" Kiowas in exchange for a runaway slave they have captured. As the educated, city-bred Joseph, Ossie Davis is as determined to get his freedom as Lancaster is to get his furs back. Enter a band of marauding Scalphunters led by Telly Savalas and accompanied by a cigar-chomping Shelley Winters and all hell breaks loose!
Blending hard-hitting action with free-wheeling farce, writer William Norton and director Sydney Pollack (Tootsie, Out of Africa) succeed in delivering great outdoor entertainment.
